Donald Trump eyeing U.S. presidency

Donald Trump is considering swapping property for politics — he is “absolutely thinking about” running for president in 2012.

The billionaire business mogul revealed on Tuesday he’s eyeing a career change and dreams of taking over the White House from President Barack Obama, because he’s so worried about the state of the country’s manufacturing industry.

He tells Fox News, “I’ve had so many people over the years ask me to do that. And for the first time in my life, I am absolutely thinking about it (running for president).”

But Trump fears his political ambitions may never come to fruition.

He adds, “I don’t know that I’ll do it. It’s probable that I won’t do it, but I can tell you, I’m thinking about it. Somebody has to do something. We are losing this country.”
